Banana and walnut cake | British Recipes

Banana and walnut cake makes an incredible improve to a basic banana bread. Topped with a beautiful buttercream frosting, it is the final word afternoon slice. 

Identical to banana bread, this cake is a good way to make use of up your bananas that are on the flip. The riper, the higher. We have baked this cake in a loaf tin format, which makes it actually helpful to have if visitors flip up unexpectedly. It is really easy to simply lower off a slice and it is unbeatable with afternoon cuppa. We predict it’s best to get 10 slices from this cake, however clearly that relies upon how beneficiant you’re along with your slicing (and to be trustworthy, we expect there’s nothing fallacious with being beneficiant). In the event you do not fancy the sweetness of a frosting excessive you’ll be able to depart it plain, or serve with a skinny spreading of butter or a dollop of thick cream.
